I see AD listings from Conde Nast and other editorial companies, but for some reason it feels like a far away world from traditional ad agency life. Has anyone made such a transition?

I have tried and tried to make the transition and never get a second interview even though I have lions in my book. They just want graphic designers and fashion people. I don’t think they understand that the work we do in agencies and our perspective would translate beautifully in editorial and fashion. Sigh.

@CW1 They want to see lots of actual fashion work and heavy design work in your book

The tittle of Art Director in an editorial role is as different from us (advertising Art Director s) as an Art Director in a film crew. We’re visually conceptual creatives, ADs in editorial are closer to graphic designers.

Worth noting that editorial designers and brand designers are as wide apart as product designer and brand designers are.

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
